I stand as a concerned parent, reaching out for the welfare of my children, Luis Miguel Mendiola and Lorenzo Enrique Gonzalez. These two boys are brothers, interconnected by an unbreakable bond of love, care, and mutual support essential to their survival especially given their serious medical conditions. Unfortunately, while a CPS case is currently open, there is a significant chance they might be separated - a situation that leaves us preoccupied and deeply concerned for their wellbeing.

Research shows that the separation of siblings during child welfare involvement can produce negative effects, both psychologically and emotionally. A study by The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) implies that siblings not only provide a natural support system for each other but also help provide continuity and a sense of safety and security. Also, it's scientifically proven that such strong emotional bonds can contribute to better mental health, more positive relationships, and lower levels of stress and depression.

By keeping Luis Miguel Mendiola and Lorenzo Enrique Gonzalez together, they will be better equipped to navigate the challenges related to their medical conditions and the emotional strain of the ongoing CPS case. This petition, therefore, calls for the relevant authorities to reconsider decisions that might separate these two brothers.

Your support by signing this petition is vital. It can make a real difference to Luis Miguel's and Lorenzo Enrique's lives, and let's stand together for the right of siblings to stay together. Sign this petition today and help keep these brothers together.
